I'm with BSG. Assuming the daw (which daw?) allows the same degree of panning in both setups, there shouldn't be a difference. You could prove it by making a wav file with two sine waves, one pitch in the left and another in the right, Import that to dual mono tracks, hard panned, then again to...

The issue with foam, which I guess is the advice you got before, is that it's only really useful across a small range of frequencies. Relatively higher frequencies. That means if you walk in there and clap your hands or hit a cymbal or snare you're going to feel like the room is dead, and...

You could argue that powering them all on knowing that they're probably going to go bang would detract from their condition. :ROFLMAO:

Not arguing against the idea of some grounding issue but what you describe sounds pretty normal. There are numerous sources of interference in your studio and, most likely, far fewer in the kitchen. To prove you can either walk around pointing the guitar (pickups) at stuff using it as a...

Just realised this is essentially the same as your other thread. The title may change but the physics won't. You've got two sources of noise (computer and you) and one capture device (microphone). You need to balance them either by adjusting the volume or position of the two sources. Your...

Rich is correct. Adjusting the input gain level wont help with this because it's adjusting the source (voice/instrument) and background noise equally. As he said, the solution is to adjust the ratio of source to background noise, as perceived by the microphone. Your pictures aren't loading just...

Thanks for the detailed reply. The last thing Dell, Acer, HP etc are thinking about is airflow and keeping the machine cool, and audio recording, usually, isn't particularly demanding. What you're describing is taking a, most likely, inadequate case and fan setup, I.E designed to run hot/loud...

Hi @Dusty Ol' Bones This is a bit of a tricky one. Makers like Dell, Acer, HP etc are known for cutting corners particularly in cooling and expansion, so there's a good chance you'd buy a tower to find it has a pathetic intel CPU heatsink, small case fans and not enough of them, and not enough...

It's likely the BSOD has an error code on it which may be useful so, yes, if you can get a clear photograph of that that'd be great. You can also look up system logs to find out a bit more about recent BSOD crashes. Some instructions are here. It may not mean a lot, or anything, to you but you...

Welcome to the forums, Tom. I don't use Windows or Ableton so can't really help directly, but I'm no stranger to troubleshooting and anyone offering help will (should...) want more details about your issue. 1: What exactly do you mean by crashing? Take a screen shot, or clear photograph, of...

You can. Your OS will have a disk management section where you can format, erase, create partitions. There usually isn't a need to do that with a new computer as the computer is likely to come with a fresh install of whatever OS, and, if you wanted to install a different OS, choosing a...

With a 10 year old tower you could probably throw a ball of paper and hit a faster computer but... I agree with Talisman. A quick glance at CPUBenchmark.net or a similar site would be worth it. That particular site is easy to use and allows you to flag CPUs for comparison, laying them out in an...

Nah, install programs on the main drive just as normal. No change there. I try to keep my OS drive small and light - Just OS and applications, really, and always make sure I have a bootable clone of it. There's plenty of free cloning software. Macrium Reflect, for example, and a spare 256gb (or...

Often, from the factory, new drives are shipped without a Partition Map/Scheme/Table or partitions so your computer will see the hardware and know what it is but there are no volumes or anything to display. You can't use it in that state. Most operating systems will pick up on this and ask you...

Sticking to the simplest option, for now, that's a shame about your smartphone. Is the same true if you try to record a short clip of just normal level talking? Perhaps the issue is with the app. I think most have something built in for voice memos. Is that the case with yours? Edit: Sorry, On...

Hi, If it's literally just to listen back to, or catalog, your practice, you may already have something that can do the job. Do you have a smartphone? Most will have an audio recording app built in, or downloadable, and should let you back those files up to your computer. Failing that, if your...

Yup, very handy little thing to have. I remember doing the same thing with my 2011 Macbook Pro. Even back then an optical drive was pretty much useless to me. An extra SSD over sata was way more useful.

Valid point. It's been a while! ;)

Good advice here. Seems unlikely but if the data is some proprietary format or otherwise difficult to process it's possible you could emulate the computer and software that he used quite easily. I'll not go in to detail here as that's an unlikely plan B but emulation of 80s systems is very...

Hi Mike @captainL Welcome back! I can't help much with beats or Cubase but if you're looking for a GPU to be able to run two screens then knowing your pc specs would help a bit. Do you know the CPU and/or Motherboard model number, or the PC model number if it's off the shelf? You'll need a...
